We'll help you through all of your infant's developmental stages
Infants will typically learn how to smile, laugh, roll, crawl, melt anybody’s heart, and start the beginning stages of talking (most commonly known as babbling). They will be very active and learn how to move very quickly, which as a parent might even seem more like teleporting.
Infants love to be proactive as they are starting to wake up and explore the world that they have been brought into. It will seem like they are growing more and more each day, and oftentimes, that is the case. Even their features will change at a rapid rate.
By the end of their time as an infant, they will have learned about their surroundings and themselves. They start discovering their hands, feet, nose, and mouth. Typically, it is not until they are being held do they realize they have the exact same parts as their parent, family member, and or caregiver. As a result, they will play with their feet, hands, and put anything in sight inside their mouths (which is why we’re very careful with our infants and the rooms, cribs, and play areas!).
By the end of an infant’s journey, their developmental skills will have been well expanded. Their small muscles become stronger through fine motor skills (grabbing things with their hands) and their large muscles increase through gross motor skills (standing or learning to stand on their own). Social and emotional development skills also begin to flourish. They learn how to respond to their names and become fearful of people they are not used to.
